Heck to get old!

Cowcatcher · **Posted:** Tue Sep 12, 2006 12:46 pm

Saturday evening, about sunset, I get home to see 5 of my cattle wandering up the hill away from their assigned pasture. I let off my passenger at the house for a change of footware before we head out for a late evening snack and I head on foot across the pasture to get the cows back in. Halfway there the left knee decides it is time to take a long awaited vacation. With the aid of a heavy broken branch and a lot of hopping I am able to get the cows back in and fix the torn down gate and with the help of the cell phone I am able to get the passengers attention, have them find an old set of crutches from the closet, and deliver them to the field and I finally hobble a 1/4 mile over rough ground back to the house.

What I didn't get done was to fix the connection to the electric fence that powers that particular part of the pasture where the gate got torn down. So next morning I have 6 wayward cows and the knee is in worse shape than the previous night. What does this have to do with Jeep Liberty's? Well with the help of the crutches I get in the jeep, put it in 4 wheel and off I go through the stubble on a roundup. I get the 6 cows back in, fix the gate with repairs and tools I brought along, and re-electify the fence. I could have done it in the PU I suppose but it would not have been as much fun.

My only regret.....besides the knee......is that I had just washed the Jeep! :lol:

Of course that's the way it always goes.

did u crank up a little "Rodeo - Garth Brooks" or "Amerillo by morning - George Strait" while you were herding!! Don't look it as gettin older, more as just gettin wiser

This should go in the Liberty pamphlet!!! One more use. And for those dealers that claim the Libby isn't trail worthy, It's also pasture worthy!!! :lol:

Used a scrambler to "nugde" a stuborn old cow around a buddies ranch. Bet the KJ was much more comfy

You ever see what a cows hoofprint looks like in sheet metal? Have seen a bull put a hurtin' on a dodge ram before.

You should put a P.A. speaker in there, I learned from experience, if you start telling jokes over it they will chase you.

Sounds like you earned a "pasture rated" badge.

Hope the knee gets better soon.

That story is absolutely priceless!

They should feature it in a jeep ad.
Of course the story needs some tuning.
We'll make your liberty frankenlifted, and your livestock would be mountain goats... deep in a rock garden!
